Concrete is the planet’s most widely used resource after water - responsible for up to 8% of #CO2 emissions. To make cement, a key component of concrete responsible for the majority of its emissions, producers have to burn virgin limestone in kilns at high temperatures using fossil fuels. But Cemvision is pioneering a new cement called Re-Ment, which uses waste products from industry, fired at much lower temperatures in kilns powered by renewables. Together, these measures can cut the #carbon footprint of cement by up to 95% compared with conventional alternatives. Swedish energy giant Vattenfall has signed a deal with Cemvision to use the low-impact #cement in its renewable energy infrastructure.
